        Boba Fett’s ship was called Slave 1. The Mouse has decided that name is problematic.

          It still is Slave 1.

          The guidelines seem to just be avoiding calling it that if there isn’t a specific reason too. I’ve got a friend named Osama; it’s the same deal. I also live in The Dominion of Canada.

            That makes some sense for a show, but it’s kinda ridiculous for the Lego set. It makes it conspicuous.

              I think for the Lego set it’s more that the average casual fan is more likely to recognise the name ‘Boba Fett’ than the name ‘Slave 1’. They’re a commercial enterprise and they want to sell these things to a wide audience, and marketing it under a name that was never mentioned on-screen in the movies wouldn’t exactly make that easier.

              The whole thing is a bit of a storm in a teacup.

    At least now we can give Leia back her proper name when she was in Jabba’s palace.

        Not as good as Boba Fett’s Spaceship Leia.

Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It’s not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.

The general idea is, if you’re looking here for rules, you’re probably someone who doesn’t need to have them spelled out. You’re fine. But anyway:

  1. This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that’s meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart… Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.

  2. We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.

  3. As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!

  4. Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it’s a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn’t concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it’s about something related to Star Wars.

  5. Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).

  6. Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.

  7. Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.
